As I believe GREATSKUA is busy, and I may be hosting the PR tonight I determine that SOL start should be left to STARBOARD.

:-)

Here is the CORRECTED COURSE DIAGRAM

COURSE
Start
Leave M2 to port (as diagram)
Leave M3 to starboard
Cross gate M4/M6
Leave M5 to starboard
Leave SOL start to starboard
Finish: Cross M1/M5 line from SE to NW

The SECOND short, informal, practice race will be held on Sunday, 2 Februari 2014.

This will be a special race:

Towbackrace
There are marks spread around the course. Participants collect points by sailing from mark to mark (which will be called a leg). Each leg is associated with a number of points. Participants are free to choose what legs they sail, and in what order.
- It's NOT obligated to round all marks, you are ranked by the total amount of points.
- You will NOT receive points if you sail the same leg (in the same direction) a second time
- You may choose any mark to start from
- You should clearly communicate via the chat when you have completed a leg, for example "I completed leg M2-M4".

Markrounding or -cutting
Marks are to be cut, your track has to touch the mark (at maximum zoon level) in order for that mark to be the end of the previous leg and the start of the next leg.
With the exception of your first mark of your first leg, you may also round the marks, such that:
1. You sail complete around the mark, cutting you own track
2. You may not round land or other marks in the process of rounding the mark, your track should isolate one mark from all others and from any land.
3. If an island functions as a mark, it does not count as "land" in the above rule (2).
The track produced from the towback itself is not part of the race: you cannot cut or round a mark while being towed back.
Examples of rounding and cutting marks

Ranking
- The participants will be ranked on their number of points in descending order (the more points the better)
- If two participants have the same number of points, the one that completed his last leg first will be ranked higher than the other. If it is unclear who was first, both participants are ranked equally
- All participants will be ranked
- No G-SCOW is awarded, as this is not a normal practice race.

____________________________

RACE START
The race starts 19:00 utc
Choose any mark to start from

RACE FINISH
Towback for the official race is at 21:00 utc, the practice race will stop when all participants are placed back at SOL start. Marks cut or rounded while being towed to SOL start don't count.

COURSE
Sail from mark to mark, completing the legs. The marks are: m1, m2, m3, m4, m5, m6, sol. Take note: sailing from m6 is most likely impossible to do within 2 hours. Sailing to m6 is hard to do within 2 hours, but it could be possible.

USEFUL NOTE
The amount of points per leg is roughly equal the the number of minutes it should take to complete, for m6 this is not true.

ANNOUNCING LEGS
You have to announce in the chat that you have completed a leg like this:
I completed leg m4-sol
I completed m5 - m6
kroppyer, I have completed m3-sol

You can ask me about your route and points like this:
kroppyer, what are my points?

And you can ask the complete score board like this:
kroppyer, what's the score?

This is important because I won't be able to be online all the time, and I my assistant is a bit stupid.

RESULTS
1. Smo> early sol-m5-m3-sol-m4-m5, 110p
2. robert1> m5-m3-m2-m4, 108p
2. glynnwi> m4-m5-m3-m5-sol-m4, 108p
4. RainbowChaser> m4-m2-sol-m5-m3, 104p
5. Rod> m5-m3-m4-m2, 92p
6. honya> sol-m5-m4-m6, 83p
7. kroppyer> m5-sol-m2-m4, 70p

Smo started a few minutes early, but still managed to get the most points after subtracting 5 minutes (points).
